Focus Features Confirms September 11, 2026 Theatrical Release for Paul Greengrass's The Uprising
The historical epic starring Andrew Garfield is slated for an exclusive worldwide theatrical rollout in late summer 2026.
In a major theatrical schedule announcement, Focus Features has locked in September 11, 2026 for the nationwide cinema release of The Uprising, the historical action drama from Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Paul Greengrass.
Starring Andrew Garfield as a leader of the historic 1381 English Peasants' Revolt, the production represents a massive collaboration between Focus Features, Jason Blum's Blumhouse Productions, and FilmNation Entertainment.
The project, which has been in meticulous development and production across practical UK locations, marks Greengrass’s return to large-scale historical action storytelling following his acclaimed work on United 93, Captain Phillips, and News of the World.
International distribution partners will coordinate corresponding territory rollouts across the United Kingdom, Europe, and Asia throughout September 2026, positioning the film as a marquee prestige theatrical event for the autumn cinema calendar.
